Lost something on public transport?

How to track down an item left on a bus, train, tram, or taxi by contacting the right transport operator.

Items left on buses, trains, trams, and taxis around Lakeland are usually handed in to the operator's lost property team — the trick is contacting the right one quickly.

  1. Identify the operator. Note the route, line, or company and the rough time. Each operator runs its own lost property process.
  2. Submit a lost property report. Use the operator's online form or phone line as soon as possible; recovered items are logged against your description.
  3. For taxis and rideshare, contact the driver or company directly through your booking or app receipt.
  4. Keep your reference. Save any report number so you can chase it up.
  5. Post a listing. Add a listing for Lakeland in case a fellow passenger picked it up.

Lost Student ID near Lake Mirror Park, Lakeland

I lost my Student ID this Monday at 3:25 p.m. while walking the Lake Mirror Park loop. I’d just left the Polk Museum of Art and was heading toward the lakefront cafe when it slipped from my pocket. The card is in a light-blue lanyard with the university logo, and I’m anxious about exams and entry to the student center. If it was found along the Lake Mirror Park entrance, I’d be grateful for its return through the proper channels.

Lost radios in Lakeland, FL

I was at Munn Park near the gazebo by the Lakeland Public Library at 7:20 p.m. yesterday when I realized my radios were missing from my backpack. They’re two handheld units in a gray Pelican case; one has a dent in the corner and a sticker with my call sign. I rely on them for quick, on-the-ground updates during events, so losing them tonight felt like a dent in my evening and left me worried about my shift. I hope whoever found them kept them safe and turned them in where they’d be easy to return to me.

Lost lapel pins near downtown Lakeland

Today at 3:10 p.m., I realized my lapel pins were LOST while I was snapping photos along the Lake Mirror Park path in downtown Lakeland. They’re small keepsakes from a volunteer event and a weekend trip, and I’m really hoping someone picked them up. I retraced my steps across Munn Park, scanning the brick sidewalks and the benches near the courthouse for any glint of metal. If they’re found near the gazebo by the lake, they’ll mean a lot to me.

Medium black Samsonite suitcase with red trim

I lost my medium black Samsonite suitcase, about 24 inches tall, with a red trim and a slightly scuffed shell. It has a green luggage tag with my initials P.S. and a small dent on the bottom front corner. I last saw it yesterday around 3pm in the parking lot behind Lakeland Square Mall on South Florida Avenue, near the bus stop by the old cinema entrance. It’s really sentimental to me because it was a gift from my grandmother, and I’ve taken it on important trips many times. If anyone found it, I’d be forever grateful to get it back!

14k gold chain with sapphire pendant, initials AM

Hey, I lost my 18-inch 14k gold box chain with a tiny sapphire pendant yesterday around 3pm. It's a delicate piece, the chain is about 1.2mm and the pendant is a bezel-set sapphire about 4mm in diameter. The back is engraved with the initials AM. I was walking near the coffee shop on South Florida Avenue by Munn Park when I last remember seeing it; the chain has some light scratches from wear, but it still sparkles nicely. It really means a lot to me because it was a gift from my mom, so I’d really appreciate getting it back if anyone found it.
